It is the summer of 1965 and on the radio you hear,

"They say we're young and we don't know

We won't find out until we grow

Well I don't know if all that's true

Cause you got me, and baby I got you".

Great song, you think, maybe this duo has a future.

A soothsayer tells you that one of them will be elected to Congress and that the other will win an Oscar.

Would you believe it? Maybe they'll have some hit songs and even a tv show but that sounds a bit preposterous. I'm not a betting man but I would have bet against it.

Well it happened! Sonny Bono was the representative for California's 44th congressional district serving from 1995 to 1998. Cher won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in .Moonstruck in 1988.
